We’re in North Eastern Pennsylvania, to explore the Italian American side of the city of Scranton and the surrounding areas!
We’ll meet the people behind one of Italian America’s most unique Feasts, visit monuments to religion and the arts, and try some of the best Italian food around… including a memorable meal in the self-professed “Pizza Capital of the World” in Old Forge, PA!
We’re bringing you our six “must see” stops through Italian American Scranton!
Presented as a joint project from The Italian American Podcast and The Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA), and in association with Joe Minnella Studios LLC, we present Greetings From Italian America
Join us each month for a fresh look at one of the best parts of this country of ours… the Italian side!
